Can you use two same sets of 2x4GB of RAM together?

Good day!

I'm currently saving up money to upgrade my RAM to 16GB as soon as possible. 
I'm using G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB (2x4GB; 2400Mhz; CL15), and ASRock Z370 Extreme4 as my motherboard.
If I buy this same set of RAM, will it work with my existing RAM without any conflicts? 

 

Thank you. :)

Yes. Should be just fine. I have 2 2x8gb kits of Gskill Flare X in my system.

The most important aspect of combining ram is the CL rating. If both your kits are CL14 (for example), most of the times it will work just fine. If not; all the ram will use the settings of the slowest ram module in your system.

 

In your case you're planning on adding the same kit (with the same CL rating). So there shouldn't be any problems with adding it to your system :)
